Rev. William Botzum, CSC, who taught in the Department of Psychology for 30 years and served as a residence hall rector, died March 2, 2006, in Holy Cross House at Notre Dame. He was 89 and had been a priest for nearly 63 years.

In 1958 he was given the “Life Master—Life Member” award by the American Contract Bridge League.…
